The railroad system was designed to carry people, but it actually carries more freight. 
 
Java was designed for use in set top boxes and small devices, and originally intented for use in servlets and other client side applications, but it is actually used more for server side programming.
 
The Web was originally intended to be used to share research papers among academics, but it is used much more for commercial purposes such as advertising.
 
After having helped design and develop many applications and software systems over the years, I can tell you for sure that what you think people are going to do with technology is almost never what they actually do in the end.  Arguing against what people want to do with your technology by saying that you intended it for something else is not usually a good strategy ;-)

I wouldn't really call it puristic if someone argues for using things
for what they've been intended to be used.

Date and Pascal's struggle BTW is rather different: while there is
massive availability of high quality products and programmers for
working with HTTP Date and Pascal argue for comparatively difficult
extensions to all exsisting RDBMS products and legions of smarter
database designers.

Hmm...ok, I'd agree that designing a REST based system takes almost a
complete rewiring of an OO brain.
